      Open Science: PMI’s Scientific Event Series

      The Open Science event series serves as a platform for our scientists to present and discuss topics regarding the science behind smoke-free products, while engaging directly with our audience through Q&A sessions. We cover a wide range of topics such as: tobacco harm reduction, combustion, smoke-free products, research and methodology, health impact, amongst others.

      To cater to the preferences of our audience, we organize two distinct event formats across multiple channels:

      • In Brief: Spotlight on a particular topic of interest, with live Q&A
      • Open Science Events: Live sessions with live Q&A
      Awards

      An award-winning event

      With over 10 events, more than 10,000 participants viewers from over 50 countries, our Open Science events series has emerged as the prime platform for our audience to delve deeper into our scientific research.

       

      In August 2022, we were honored to receive a silver Stevie award for Achievement in Science or Technology for our Open Science event series, which has grown from a simple webinar in 2020 to a variety of offerings including live and in-person events.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. All of our RRPs are smoke-free products that deliver nicotine with far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
